Chapter 29: Meeting the Ex-fiancé 

Wang Guihua held Ji Xiaoyue and said softly, “Auntie hasn’t been to school, but I can still tell.

He has a righteous face, he’s younger than Ji Dahai but his position is higher, this kind of situation requires not only strong personal ability, but also a strong family background.

Actually, no matter which one you have, you can live a good life.”

She paused for a moment and said dejectedly, “Back then, your cousin had no choice, she found Li Dahai because of her situation at the time, Li Dahai was the best she could find. But you’re different from your cousin.

You passed the college entrance exam, although your spot was taken, but you’re different after all, Auntie hopes you can marry well. I hope Ji Dahai’s family can see how outstanding their biological daughter is, who they don’t cherish, there are many people who will cherish you.”

Ji Xiaoyue was moved, her eyes were a little moist.

Although her uncle and aunt weren’t related to her by blood, they really loved her, and they really cared about her.

She reached out and hugged her aunt, saying softly, “Okay! I’ll go see his parents again. My family situation is too complicated, his parents might not accept me.”

Ji Xiaoyue had her own plans.

The original owner was really too wronged, she couldn’t just let this family go.

If she stayed away from them and lived her own life, she could actually live a good life with her own abilities. But that would make her too incompetent and weak, what would the original owner’s suffering be for?

She didn’t do anything wrong, she was the victim, why was she the one who suffered the most?

She couldn’t accept it!

She took a deep breath and had her own plan.

The next day, she went to deliver pig head meat with her aunt and cousin as usual.

Wang Xiong stopped her, “Xiaoyue, the dishes you made yesterday were very good, the chefs used the same ingredients as you, but the taste wasn’t as good as yours.”

Actually, the chefs knew how to make these dishes, and they also knew the ingredients, but the taste was just different.

Ji Xiaoyue smiled and said to Wang Xiong, “Brother Wang, I can’t supply you with these dishes, why don’t you pay some money, buy the menu, and I’ll teach you the method. I’ll also write down the ingredients for you.”

Wang Xiong smiled and said to Ji Xiaoyue, “Okay, okay, you’re very smart. I talked to our director yesterday, and he agreed. How much do you want?”

Ji Xiaoyue made a five with her fingers.

Wang Xiong asked in confusion, “Fifty yuan?”

Ji Xiaoyue shook her head, “Five hundred yuan!”

Wang Xiong thought he had misheard, he asked incredulously, “What? Five hundred yuan is too expensive.”

Ji Xiaoyue smiled, “Brother Wang, the method of making these dishes is the same, but the taste is just different. Many times, everyone knows how to make something, but different people make it, it’s just more delicious.

Now there are more and more individual businesses, Jianguo Restaurant also needs to innovate.”

Now there were more and more individual businesses, Jianguo Restaurant was an old brand, the leaders’ tastes were getting more and more picky, and they were already tired of the few old dishes they had.

He wanted to make a good impression, he needed new dishes that would satisfy the leaders.

He paused for a moment, gritted his teeth and said to Ji Xiaoyue, “Okay! I’ll go apply with the director.”

Ji Xiaoyue knew a lot of dishes, if she sold them one by one, it would also be a lot of money, but she also knew that making this money was limited, it couldn’t be repeated, it was just a temporary way to make money.

Wang Xiong went to find the director to apply.

He didn’t know how he talked to the director, but the price was approved.

He gave the money to Ji Xiaoyue and asked her, “If you have new dishes in the future, you can come to me.”

Ji Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, “Okay.”

Then, she said to Wang Xiong, “Brother Wang, from now on, my aunt and cousin will probably be delivering the pig head meat. It’s all the same anyway.”

Wang Xiong nodded and asked her, “After you’ve made some money, sell the ingredients for the braised pig head meat and cold dishes to me.”

Ji Xiaoyue smiled and said nothing.

Cooking is something that can be learned with some research.

It’s just that the taste is different.

Some people’s cooking is just better.

This was the case with Ji Xiaoyue’s dishes, braised pig head meat, and cold dishes.

The director had asked the chefs to research them many times, but the taste was just not as good as the ones Ji Xiaoyue supplied.

Including the sour fish and spicy blood soup yesterday, they knew the recipe, but the taste wasn’t as good as Ji Xiaoyue’s.

Wang Xiong didn’t push it.

In the next few days, Ji Xiaoyue made two sets of clothes for Fu Liye and three sets of clothes for each of the children.

The shoes were made by her aunt, they were tiger-head shoes, beautiful and cute.

Ji Xiaoyue looked at her aunt’s craftsmanship and smiled, “Auntie, your craftsmanship is really good, when we have money in the future, we can specialize in making shoes.”

Wang Guihua just chuckled and didn’t take Ji Xiaoyue’s words seriously.

“Rural people’s craftsmanship, many people know how to do it. There are many patterns, tigers, rabbits, monkeys, all kinds of small animals.

People of our generation all know how to do it.” Wang Guihua said with a smile.

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t say anything more, she had an idea, but they didn’t have any money now. The pig head meat and cold dishes were selling very well, they should make enough money for now.

“Auntie, you and cousin will have to work hard again later, I’ll take the clothes and shoes I made to Fu Liye. I might be back late this afternoon, don’t worry about me.” Ji Xiaoyue said to Wang Guihua.

Wang Guihua nodded.

She remembered…

Wang Guihua remembered Sun Dahua’s matter and asked Ji Xiaoyue, “Xiaoyue, what happened to Li Dahai’s matter after the political commissar came last time? Didn’t they just let it go?”

Wang Guihua had been waiting for Li Dahai to apologize, but some time had passed and there was still no news.

Ji Xiaoyue comforted her, “Auntie, they’re all military officers, they will definitely do what they promised. They will definitely have a punishment for Li Dahai, and they will bring him to apologize.”

Wang Guihua nodded, “Okay, I understand.”

In the afternoon, Ji Xiaoyue went to Fu Liye’s compound.

Aunt Zhang saw Ji Xiaoyue and said with some regret, “Liye went to the army today, he’s not here. Do you want to wait for him to come back?”

Ji Xiaoyue shook her head, “Auntie, I just came to deliver clothes to the children and Fu Liye. I’ll leave after I put them down. Ask the children to come over and try them on.”

Aunt Zhang was a little anxious when she heard this, “No, what if they don’t fit?”

Her mind was racing, she was thinking about how to set up another meeting for Chief Fu.

She couldn’t waste this opportunity.

“Xiaoyue, look at these shoes, the soles are too thin, Liye’s clothes also need to be tried on when he comes back. If they don’t fit, I’ll have Liye come find you.” Aunt Zhang said to Ji Xiaoyue.

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t think much about it, she immediately nodded.

The clothes fit the children well.

The shoes also fit, but Aunt Zhang insisted that the soles were too thin.

Ji Xiaoyue agreed to make two more pairs with thicker soles.

Aunt Zhang was a little regretful, but she had set up a meeting, so she was relieved.

When Ji Xiaoyue was leaving, she met Sun Jianbin at the gate of the compound.

He saw Ji Xiaoyue and immediately pointed at her angrily, “Ji Xiaoyue, didn’t you cut off ties with the Ji family?

Qingqing said the other day that you wanted to cling to the Ji family again, you really came back.

Aren’t you very principled?

If you have the guts, don’t come back!”
